Ready to conquer the legendary Full Distance Triathlon Australia in Port Macquarie? This isn't just any race—it's the original long-course triathlon on Australian soil, a true rite of passage for Aussie triathletes. Whether you're tackling the Hastings River swim, grinding up Matthew Flinders Drive, or finishing on the electric red carpet at Town Green, our 44-week training plan is engineered to get you there stronger, faster, and fully prepared.
Our plan begins with a 12-week Foundation Phase, focusing on building aerobic strength, developing technique, and establishing consistency. You'll ease into training with a manageable 4.5 hours in week 1, gradually increasing to 8 hours by week 11. Week 12 caps off this phase with a challenging brick workout designed to boost your endurance and mental resilience.
From there, you’ll transition into a 32-week Build & Race Phase. This portion of the program is laser-focused on Full Distance Triathlon performance—perfect for athletes eyeing Port Macquarie. Starting at 8.5 hours per week, you'll peak at around 16 hours of carefully periodized training. We factor in key opportunities for “B” and “C” races to sharpen your form without risking burnout.
